"Keep Searchin' (We'll Follow the Sun)" is a song written by the American rock-and-roll musician Del Shannon. It was written, recorded, and released in 1964.[1][2] The song is in the key of A minor.[1] Its lyrics tell the story of a man who tries to find a place to hide himself and his beleaguered girlfriend from those who abuse her. The song ends with a sequence of very high notes.[3]
The B-side of "Keep Searchin'" was "Broken Promises."[2] Both songs were recorded in October 1964, along with two other Shannon songs: "Stranger in Town" and "Over You." All four songs were written by Shannon himself.[1]
